No employment gaps for several years. I don't think the app. asks past three years. She is actually a credit analyst for a credit card company we've all heard of and he drives a train for a gov't-backed company that only ever loses money. I'll call their employers tomorrow, but don't know what kind of hoops they're gonna make me jump through to get them to talk to me.

Another couple who wants the place sounds like they're my parents' age, I'm guessing perfect credit and they want a 2-3 yr. lease because they're too old to move often. Trouble is they can't take it before Nov. 1. So that leaves me eating October, which I really don't think I should have to do, since my tenants are the ones who decided to break the lease. But then they brought me prospects who want the place Oct. 1 too. So I can't really complain.

A few min. ago my tenant emailed me that they'd take care of October if I want to give it to the second couple. My guess is they close on their new house on Sept. 30th and can't be out of the place the same day in time to have it empty and cleaned for the folks who want it Oct. 1. Anyway, it looks like I'm probably gonna have a longterm lease soon and won't have to worry about this place much for a while. Oh, and my tenant is depositing August's rent tomorrow at my bank. Gonna miss these guys a lot.
